AAS Aerial Survey

Project Treemaps Khao Yai Thailand

AAS together with Dr. Martin Isenburg (rapidlasso GmbH) have shown that it is possible to penetrate the dense 45 meter canopy of tropical rainforests with a RIEGL LMS Q680i full waveform laser scanner operating 1200 meters above the ground at 80 kHz and get sufficiently many ground returns to construct a plausible DTM with a resolution of 2 meters.
